On the most recent episode things finally got real. Simply put, Leg 7 was easily the best leg of this season's race yet.
The teams got on a midnight train to Georgia (these producers are a pip!), and most of them went right to sleep.
Upon arriving in Georgia (and if you're not aware, this is the country, not the state in the U.S.) they had to ride a gondola and snap up the location of the Detour. During the Detour, the teams had to choose between "Clean" and "Candy." In "Candy," the teams had to put a needle and thread through 20 hazelnuts, form five strands and then dip their nuts in this disgusting sugary goo. In "Clean," the teams had to go inside a giant wine barrel and...well, clean it.
The catch in both "Candy" and "Clean" is that there were only four stations open at a time.
From the Detour, the teams headed to the Roadblock, which involved the dreaded dance routine challenge that happens nearly every season. This is where all the previous leads are rendered (mostly) null and (mostly) void and the teams must survive on their rhythm and skill alone. Luckily for some teams, they were entering the challenge with some previous dance expertise.
Eventually, the only teams left at the Roadblock were Tyler and Korey and Scott and Blair. For whatever reason, Blair had her klutzy father, who seems at least 20 years older than his actual age, do the Roadblock. Scott looked like a dancing machine compared to Korey in his first few shots at the dance. Slow is putting it mildly as it pertains to Korey. It was a series of misadventures and missteps between the two of them. Their combined attempts number in double digits. It eventually stopped being amusing and started to be difficult to watch television.
Eventually, both men finished the dance within in seconds of each other and that's when the biggest mistake occurred. Scott took Tyler's bag as he was leaving with Blair, even though it looked NOTHING like his own bag. When Scott realized his mistake - if it was one - he was forced to go back and give Tyler his bag. Nevertheless, Scott's mistake gave the two guys a chance to catch up to them and jump in a cab.
This meant that it was a footrace to the Pit Stop. The purest form ofThe Amazing Race. Inside their cab, Scott assured Blair that he could beat Korey and Tyler in a 100 yard dash. He couldn't be more wrong, of course. It was close, but not really.
Scott and Blair came in last and were eliminated fromThe Amazing Race.
